Results show that the pure water flux of the membrane produced is extremely high – reaching 418.04 Lm-2h-1 – but decreased to 311.97 Lm-2h-1 with the addition of TiO2–pectin. When applied to wetland water the PA–TiO2–pectin membrane showed 100% turbidity rejection.","PeriodicalId":52434,"journal":{"name":"Membrane Technology","volume":" 103","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139393507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
